I used Roc Retinol night cream with a vitamin c serum over it and had a terrible reaction. I had BAD burning/ inflammation, not much redness. Some skin looks like it was sunburned. Now I have some orange peel texture skin and crepiness under eyes. I have been keeping it moisturized. I thought retinol was supposed to do the opposite. There is some AHA in the Roc as well. Will the texture and lines under my eyes get better as skin heals and is kept moisturized or is this permanent damage?
